This week, B.J. is back and he and Austin talk about how magic affects the worlds of Dragon Quest. We take a look at magic's role in combat, storytelling, and characters - as well as discussing some of those magical Vocations from games like DQ IX and VII. We also talk about hats for waaaay too long.

This week, Austin has been replaying the first Dragon Quest Heroes. He recounts some of his favorite moments so far, discusses Tolkien Elves and Dwarves, and how playing the game now is WAY different from when he played it in 2016.

It's episode four of our deep dive into Dragon Quest VIII! This week, Austin's mic was being weird (so sorry about that), but we sat down to talk about the most memorable bosses and baddies in DQ8. Plus, at the end, we had a nice little pop quiz to see if B.J. remembers any of it.

This week, real life happened, so we weren't able to meet up and record together. However, we did record this Rocket Slime episode a couple of weeks ago. It actually ties into our Dragon Quest VIII deep dive episodes in a big way, since there are so many references to DQ8 found in Rocket Slime. So if you've never listened to this episode, or if you want a refresher, you can check it out this week! We'll be back next week to continue our deep dive into Dragon Quest VIII!

This week on DQFM, we're continuing our discussion of characters and placed in Dragon Quest VIII. We talk about plot points like King Pavan in Ascantha, Prince Charmles and hunting for Argon Hearts, and breaking up a wedding like it's the end of a romantic comedy! Plus, we read some of YOUR thoughts on favorite DQ8 moments.
